Prof. Mark Harrington of the Univer-
sity, who has just returned from 10
weeks tour in Honduras, delivered q
lecture before the Unity club of Ann
Arbor upon his experiences in that
country. He dwelt at great length
upon the habits and customs of the
people of that country, its lumber,
mining and agricultural interests. One
thing that surprised the professor is the
large number of Michigan people who
are doing business in Honduras and
investing their capital there, Grand
Rapids capitalists were the pioneers
from Michigan in making investments
there, the object being to supply the
large furniture business of Grand
Rapids with mahogany wood of which
there is an abundance in Honduras. He
closed his lecture by saying: The senti-
ment of the people there is strongly in ia
vor of annexation to the United tates.
They feel that their resources will never
be fully developed until the country is
SO annexed. There are represen tatives
of all the leading nations doing busin ess
there, but the Americans are the lead
ers and the Michigan people are at the
head of Americans.

Ta~eart on the Marriage Law.

Attorney General Taggart, in response
TO inquiries 10y the Wayne county clerk
relative TO the marriage law, says that a
license cannot be issued when both parties
are non-residents but must be issued In
the county where at least one of the
parties has his or her home. Licenses is
sued i'm other states are not applicable.
Mr.. Taggart says non-conformance with
the license law does not invalidate the
marriage, but subjects the officiating
magistrate or clergyman to the penalty
for performing marriage without the
re uired formalIties. II, however, both
parties are nOn-residents of the state, as
the law has no provisions for issuing them
licenses. he doubts if they would b. sub
,ect to penalty. Mr.. Taggart also de-
cides that a marriage license Issued in the
county where one party lives Is good in
any other county in the state.

The reports of the insane asylums OF
Michigan for the quarter ending Sept. 80
give the rather startling information that
the asylums are again crowded beyond
their capacity, Notwithstanding the recent
establishment of the new asylum at Trav-
erse City. The state board Of corrections
and charities has given the subject care
ful consideration, DR.. Hal G. Wyman Of
Detroit, being particularly active, and
there seems no way to reduce the number
of patients This would force the con-
clusion that more asylum room is needed.
The capacity of the asylum is 2,100 and
they are now caring for not less than
2,132, and the crowded condition which
this entails cannot fail to work harm
where good should result. The total mum
Der Of lunatics increases with almost
